§ 44. Colonel WOODCOCKasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give the results of the trading accounts of Cranwell farm for the periods ending 31st March, 1924, and 31st March, 1925; whether an officer of the Royal Air Force is still responsible for the farming operations; and, if so, what is his rank?
§ Sir S. HOAREAs regards the first part of the question, the farm was let to a tenant as from 3rd November, 1923, and the trading account for the farming operations carried on under Air Ministry direction ceased, therefore, from that date. The trading account from 1st April, 1923, to 2nd November, 1923, is shown in the Air Services Appropriation Account, 1923–24, pages 82–85. In view of the change of system in November, 1923, the other parts of my hon. and gallant Friend's question do not arise.
§ Colonel WOODCOCKCan the right hon. Gentleman say how much per acre this farm is now let at?
§ Sir S. HOAREIf the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put down a question on that point I will give him the information.
